Shakespeare's Troy: Drama, Politics, and the Translation of Empire - Cambridge Studies in Renaissance Literature and Culture
James, Heather (University of Southern California)
Heather James shows how Shakespeare's use of Virgil, Ovid and other classical sources forms part of a larger attempt to find historical legitimacy for Britain as a realm asserting its status as an empire. She goes on to distinguish Shakespeare's deployment of the myth from 'official' Tudor and Stuart ideology.
